I am looking for info on the Emmett Bassett McCormick family. Specifically I am looking for the name of his first wife. Emmett was born in 1854 in Daviess Co., KY. He and his first wife had three children. Rodman D., Sarah Daly (my great grandmother) and Emmett A. I believe Sarah was born in 1892 and her mother died when she was approx. three years old. I believe after childbirth (Emmett A.) I have no info on the mothers name. I know Sarah was sent to live with her Aunt Sallie Daly/Doly, who ran a boarding house in Lexington. In 1910 I have Emmett B. married to Lena L., but this has to be his second wife. If anyone can help I would be greatly appreciative. You can email me at laj1009@aol.com

Does anyone know the location of SOUTH HAMPTON CEMETERY located in DAVIESS COUNTY in or around OWENSBORO. I believe there are a number of HORN'S buried there. John STEWART Troy, Michigan jwskmsare@home.com

Hi everybody. It's a new year, and I am hoping there are new listmembers who might be able to assist me. I am looking for either the parents or a prior marriage for my Nancy E. Ashby b. May 9th, 1822 in KY. She married James Aaron Thomas on Feb. 25th, 1840 in Daviess Co. then moved to Webster county with her husband. She is my GG-grandmother. She was 18 when she married, so I figure that Ashby MUST be her maiden name, although she could have married and become a widow too soon. A suggestion was made concerning Peter Ashby and Cynthia Hancock, but I believe Peter was about the same age as my Nancy. I also found an IGI record that shows a Nancy L. Ashby born abt 1822 in Hopkins co. to a Daniel Ashby and Cassandra Leeper, but can't be sure as there are no documents that I can locate to prove it is the same Nancy that I have. Any assistance would be appreciated. thanks, Tina Hall res00waz@gte.net Tina's Family Genealogy Page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~thall Steve's and Tina's Home pages: http://home1.gte.net/~res00waz/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, make it dance!" ~ George Bernard Shaw +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have been working on some webpage updates for the Daviess Co., KYGenWeb page. I have added links to the Daviess County Mailing List Archives (From May 1999 to present) and More Daviess County Search Resources, which includes some useful searches, with more to be added in the future.

Carol, you're right the journal is boring. Boring like mine would be, and I absolutely love it. It kinda puts me in the middle of life in the 1850's and makes me realize how hard our ancestors worked and how generous they were with their time. Also the team work it took , with neighbors helping neighbors, to keep dinner on the table and fire wood in the box. Don't stop! It's wonderful.

January the 1st 1857 Thu 1 I cut and halled some wood and helped S W Allen ketch some hogs and load up his plunder on the sled to hall home and after dinner I helped Wm Winkler kill his hogs. John is going to school ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Fri 2 I halled a load of pork to Hawesville for Wm Winkler we got back about 2 hours in the night ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Satu 3 I helped James Richmond load his plunder on the waggon to hall off and then we cut and halled some wood. it is very cold the thermometer is at 10 (degrees) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- S W Allen is Samuel Allen a neighbor and good friend Wm Winkler is married to Nancy Black and is Davis Brother-in-law John is John J Christian a child who was indentured to James Douthitt. He is 6 in 1850, 15 in 1860. James Richmond is Davis first cousin son of Ellen Douthitt & Elijah Richmond.

Happy new Millenium. The list has beeen awfully quiet lately so maybe you will be happy that Davis Douthitt resumed writing his daily journal on New Years Day 1857 and is as boring as ever. For new list members a quick explanation James Douthitt married Elizabeth Barnett in Daviess County Jan 19,1826, their son Davis, was born Dec 19, 1826. He lived all his life on the family farm near Knottsville in an area known as Scythia. My mother was born in 1914 in the same house he lived in. Davis kept a daily log of his activities from 1855 through 1859. I have been transcribing this from his original manuscript and posting it to the list on a weekly basis for the last two years. It is slow work. I try to be as accurate as possible but those of you who have struggled to read old documents know how didfficult this can be. His handwriting is usually readable and his spelling isn't bad but he wasn't too concerned about punctuation or capital letters. The people he names are all either neighbors or relatives and I have attempted to identify as many as possible. If you draw a circle on a map with Owensboro, Hawesville, Hartford and Hardinsburg in the perimeter you would probably include every place he ever visited.. His grandfather, Solomaon Barnett and in-laws Willis & Mary Black lived in Ohio County, some of his Douthitt relations lived in Hancock county. For those who came in late and want a copy of 1855 and 1856 please e-mail me. Carol Elliott Arrington
